>>> Well, duh. Thanks for making my argument. This, in no way, "makes" your argument. It absolutely proves you wrong. The object of the Iraq War never has been, even for a microsecond, about "taking territory". The objective has always been clearly specified in other terms. The idea that we had any plan to occupy Iraq on a long-term basis has been denied from the very outset. If you want to change your argument to one suggesting that taking land on a temporary basis is a necessary step in most wars (thereby admitting you were wrong), then go ahead and withdraw your earlier statement.
